MySpace says it has acquired “certain assets” of cash-poor social music service imeem and it’s moving fast to capitalize on the biggest one: users. Sometime today, imeem’s 16 million-plus users will be redirected to MySpace Music. MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta promises via blog post to move fast to offer their imeem playlists on MySpace Music.

But — and that’s a serious capital “B” — it looks like they’re starting the transition without users’ playlists, which would annoy the heck out of me if that’s how I managed my music listening. Van Vatta promises: “As quickly as possible, we

  2. Seriously. This is like the worst company to have bought out imeem. I can not express the amount of incredulity I am feeling right now -_-. And leaving imeem 30 seconds of play til this was worked out is a way better idea than just moving (and pretty much getting rid of it) it without any info.

  3. I cannot take this, i LOVED Imeem, it was the best place to have a digital playlist so matter where you want you had it with you. Now those bastards at myspace bought it. I am just gonna slink back to projectplaylist or hear IT

  4. I take a nap and wake up thinking I’ll possibly log on to imeem, but instead of seeing the homepage I am redirected to myspace?! Then what makes me more livid is that all of my playlists may not be apart of this idiotic migration. This is absolutely ridiculous. I doubt after the first day of adjusting to this change, I won’t be a part of it or myspace for too long.

  5. Yeah at work I was listening to Imeem before lunch then afterwards I could not login because my company blocks access to social networks! I listen to Imeem all day I am so disappointed that I don;y have access.

  6. so ridiculous… I think Id rather facebook have bought it, mostly because myspace has been slowing dying for years now. This is a desperate attempt for myspace to scrap some more users…

  7. really predictable Wednesday, December 9 2009

    honestly, is anyone really surprised that 1) imeem didn’t work, and 2) the only suitor would be myspace?

  8. This is RIDICULOUS! I also use to listen to Imeem at work. Now I cant because social whore networks like Myspace are blocked at my job. Not to mention anywhere else I log on my playlist (that I had to pay a membership for) is gone. Are we getting refunds? I know it was only $10 but hey, thats my $10. Besides, I hate Myspace!

  10. I hate this my space …I was an Imeem member for long time and in one minute they destroy everyhting, and even i lost my page,my friends my music list, everything i LOST. How they say we are moving users to my space like if we are new users without any history in Imeem, it’s NOT FAIR at all.
    we Need Imeem back pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!
